It's a brand I'm slightly intimidated by, more than slightly. My image is that they are a lower handicappers club and I'm not a good enough ball striker to use them. Golf clubs are too expensive to take a major gamble on so Titleist passes me by.

Yeah I think that might be something in the back of my mind too. Even in my fittings he never handed me a Titleist driver or irons, it's normally Ping, Callaway, Cobra, maybe TaylorMade.

A priori, I wouldn't let myself get intimidated. My whole life, things have always been different for me : Things that no one else could handle worked for me right away—and vice versa. That has taught me to try everything with an open mind first.

Watching you tee it up so close to the right hand tee marker and still miss the thing is a wonderous sight to behold....honestly there's a handful of people in the world who can do that with your swing...I have the 425 SFT, and I can hit it 30 yards right without any issue!
But then I bet Fraser didn't have a -12.9° path at times!

Skins yesterday....20 of us playing. I played OK for 36 points....two bad holes at the end of the back 9....the 8th where I pulled my 9-wood approach 20yds left of the green...in rough but not a terrible lie...all i needed to do was pop the ball up and let it catch the downslope and run out to the flag...popped the ball up lovely and landed it in a patch of rough, less than a foot from where I'd wanted it to land, where it stayed. Another go put it to 5 feet but missed the putt and ended with a double bogey.
On the 9th we have OOB just 5 yards left of the fairway for the entire 330yds, the fairway cambers left to right, funneling balls into bunkers and trees on the right...its possibly the worst hole on the course as it often punishes good shots. I took my usual brave aim down the left edge and nutted the sweetest 3 wood ever...with a touch of draw instead of my usual baby fade...plonked it right into the boundary hedge which itself is out of bounds. Reloaded and eventually walked off with a "moral par" (i.e. a double bogey six!!). 4 shots dropped in two holes.
Rest of the round was very solid for a gross 76 and 36 points. Didnt win a single skin and the two nearest the pins that i put my name on were both beaten by folks in the groups behind.
8/13 fairways
11/18 GIRs
33 putts
2 birdies
10 pars
4 bogeys
2 doubles
Greens were not great...very bristly and spiky....noticeably different than the previous evening when I played (and also shot 76)...but have to keep reminding ourselves that it is still only early April and due to the mixture of grasses things are always a little uneven at this time of year.
Course could really do with some rain though.

Struggling.
Second comp of the season after winter league and with back tees, no mats etc, just can't get back into it. Ball striking has improved since last week, but everything else was shabby.
Busy work week ahead, with a corporate golf day at Worsley Marriot, awards bash in London, with a night over and Rick Astley on Friday, I will leave next weekends comp and regroup.

When I first read that I thought it said a night over with Rick Astley
I was gonna say be careful cause it starts with One night but according to rumour he finds it hard to give you up.
